Another member of Hoover\u2019s record-setting Class 7A championship team is headed to the SEC.<\/p>\n
Bucs center Jackson Sheffield has committed to play at Vanderbilt, he announced on social media in conjunction with On3Sports\u2019 Joe Tipton.<\/p>\n
Sheffield took a visit to Vanderbilt at the end of August and visited Maryland this week. He also held offers that include Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi State Virginia Tech, Loyola-Chicago and UAB.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-9 center prospect was ranked by On3 Sports as the No. 99 overall player in the class of 2026 and the No. 11 overall center.<\/p>\n
He is the No. 2 prospect in the state of Alabama behind Hale County\u2019s Gage Mayfield.<\/p>\n
He and 2025 Mr. Basketball Dewayne Brown — now at Tennessee — give Hoover players from back-to-back classes who have committed to Southeastern Conference programs. <\/p>\n
Last season for the Bucs\u2019 Class 7A state championship team that went a perfect 35-0 on the season, Sheffield averaged 7.3 points and 5.8 rebounds. He logged eight points and three rebounds off the bench against Central-Phenix City in the Class 7A semifinals.<\/p>\n
